Opt-out guide
How to opt out of LiveRamp and remove your name
LiveRamp's business is connecting identifiers - matching a device to an email to a household so advertisers can recognise you across places. That means its opt-outs are split by identifier type rather than being a single switch, and doing one leaves the others running.
Wondering whether LiveRamp is even legitimate first? Read our honest LiveRamp check for what it is, what regulators have said about it, and what it exposes.
What LiveRamp exposes
- Identifiers linking your devices and email addresses
- Mobile advertising identifiers
- Third-party cookie identifiers
- Marketing audience segments
Step-by-step removal
- 1
Start with the US privacy portal
Go to liveramp.com/privacy/my-privacy-choices, the Your Privacy Choices portal for the United States.
- 2
Opt out of the mobile identifier
Use the global mobile identifier opt-out at liveramp.com/opt_out/mobile/, which is a separate control from the portal.
- 3
Opt out of the third-party cookie
Use optout.liveramp.com/opt_out_cookies. This one is cookie-based, so it is lost if you clear cookies or switch browser.
- 4
Repeat per browser and device
Because two of the three controls are tied to a browser or a device identifier, they have to be repeated on each browser and device you use.
- 5
Use your regional portal if you are outside the US
LiveRamp maintains separate rights portals for Australia, Canada, France, Mexico and the UK, and regional privacy contacts for the EEA.
Good to know
- The cookie opt-out is stored in a cookie, which is the standing irony of this category: clearing your cookies for privacy reasons deletes the record of your privacy choice.
- LiveRamp does not publish a processing timeframe for these requests, so note the date you submitted.
- There is no public page showing what LiveRamp holds about you, so the confirmation you receive is the only evidence.
Identifier-based opt-outs decay by design: a new device, a new browser, or cleared cookies puts you back in scope. Treat this as a recurring task rather than a one-off.
